Crowd Watch, Part III

[BWNB]

Don't worry, most will. Whoever made the decision fails to understand people support 1 team & 1 team only.

If we lose, I'd say every single sharks supporter will go. Season over...who gives a f**k then.

Exactly.

NRL spokesmen says Saturday's games are tracking between 35,000 - 38,000

Anything less then a complete sellout is a failure for this one.

Seems to be a lot of people on this forum who don't really seem to like watching Rugby League.

Yes in all fairness I probably shouldn't complain about attending the game on a Friday night again after what the Roosters copped. I had a look at the seating allocations too which absolutely sux for all teams and I wouldn't blame any club supporters if they just decided to stay home for this game and give the NRL the middle finger back.

Funny how the NRL have came out to defend this double header publicly when in reality they were pushed into it. The AFL must be having a good laugh at this and the NRL.

I guess attendances talk and bullshit walks so until more people start attending NRL games AFL will always get first preference at times like this.

Yeah once our crowd nimbers get higher we'll be able to have a lot more leverage in this argument.

And what do the braniacs here want to do? Only go to one game as some sort of "protest" which won't make the bigger crowd needed to justify never having one of these ever again. Genius move, fellas. :roll:

Genius move, fellas. :roll:

Only 1 genius move (nooottt) & that was the scheduling of these games, where the NRL has again failed to understand it's best customer.

There was scope for a double header, but it had to be at ANZ. And not with a massive break between the games.

I echo what Flapper said. It seems a lot of Rugby League supporters have very little attachment to the game itself, but only care about their team. I can't understand it. I've been to several sporting matches involving teams I don't support. If I ever had the opportunity to attend a finals double header, I'd be there with bells on, and I wouldn't care which teams were playing.

That's it in a nutshell.

Wouldn't be a double header with the dogs involved though. That decision by Greenberg wouldn't have been so "innovative". ;-)

As if the 4pm game will kick of at 4. More likely 415. Either way there is no way it finishes before 6. 15mins for golden point if needed, then 15 mins of dead time, filled with cheerleaders or inflatable balls and relay races.

Team will start to warm up at 630ish. It's not really much longer than between NYC and nrl during the year.

If I could attend I would, for both games.

Initially I thought the double header was crap but now I really envy the four teams fans, I wish we had a double header with Souths and Melbourne.

I remember in 99 or something we have a double header got pumped by Parra 1st game. It was so hard to watch the second game. That was round 1 not my team getting knocked out and wasn't a 90 min break either

They prefer to watch their team play

How pissed will people get by the end of the night? There'll be drunk dickheads fighting everywhere

01 I'm pretty sure it was.

I went to that game and left a few minutes into the second game.

Yeah. I stayed until halftime or something in the 2nd game it was punish and that was round 1. I will go this week as we play NYC I won't wait an hour for some footy though so if the games aren't closer together I will go home

 

[ouwet]

Any pax updates from today?

 

[Teddyboy]

The NRL are stupid but nothing can change that it will be a double header so why don't you all just go and enjoy the 2 games of Rugby League.

So a sell out is a success?

Looks like a 'complete sell out' will be better than a 'partial sell out'!:lol::lol:

What about an "Attend Out"?
